They were about to play their first show in England, Noodle and Russel were helping the road crew set the stage up before they went on. Murdoc stood with 2D in an alleyway behind the large venue sharing a cigarette. He could tell the singer was nervous just like he was before the first show they had played. He looked around to make sure nobody would see before he wrapped his arm around the younger man's shoulder holding him closely. 2D laid his head on the bassist shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Stop bein' so nervous, yer gonna do jus' fine."
"We 'aven't been 'ere since t'e band started its real weird feelin' bein' back and all." The blue haired man said as he pulled away from the older man's embrace.
"I know, but it's nice an' after we play a couple of shows 'ere yew can go an' see yer parents for a bit. Yew haven't really talked to 'em much since we moved to Kong."
2D looked away sighing heavily; he took a long drag from the cigarette then handed it back to the bassist.
"I know, I feel bad 'bout it….T'ey still don't like yew much, if t'ey knew I had sex wit' yew they'd go real crazy." He said laughing.
Murdoc looked away still paranoid somebody would hear them talking. It was night time and the alley was pitch black, the chance of somebody passing by noticing them was very unlikely. He felt like a prick for thinking that way, he would say something about it to the singer, but he knew how it made him feel. He still felt concerned about the way things were going between them, every chance they had gotten they took it to make out or have sex…Which Murdoc had to admit the opportunities were coming very few and in between and it was driving him up the wall. It'd be so much easier to just go grab the nearest drunk bird he could find and have sex with her in his hotel room or in a bathroom stall, but he'd promised the younger man he wouldn't do that until they were back in the states.
Promises, Murdoc never made promises to anybody. Except he kept on making them to 2D and he didn't really understand why. He'd promise a girl that he'd call her the next day, promised he'd keep up with parole, and promised he would stop doing drugs. Those were all things he had promised, but knew he didn't mean them the minute that he said them and they were usually accompanied by a roll of his mismatched eyes. This was different though, the word 'promise' made him feel like choking. It was such a foreign word especially when he told himself to mean it, but he didn't need the blue haired man leaving the band….He really was a dick.
"Why aren't yew nervous about our firs' show Muds?" The taller man asked curiously
"Cause mate I've played too many shows in my lifetime to really give a fuck anymore. Just another hour of screamin' girls and drunk frat boys, nothin' new to me." He said shrugging like it really was nothing.
The metal door behind them opened and a short over weight man poked his head out looking between the two of them.
"Yew guys are goin' on soon, get inside." He said before going back inside of the building leaving them alone once again.
2D sighed heavily as he made his way towards the door; Murdoc grabbed him by the wrist pulling him back. He leaned in kissing him quickly before pushing past him and into the large building. He could still feel black eyes on his back and couldn't help but smile to himself.
